Default Fence Novice Question

Hi Suzanne!

S We need to have a wood fence put up on only one side of the property
S (pretty much a straight line with one turn towards the house with a
S gate. I was going to get some estimates from fence builders and I was
S just wondering--are there any questions I should be asking them? I know
S nothing about fences or how they are built. Do I need to ask about
S warranties or specific questions about how they anchor or build them?

I'd be asking for the specific type of wood (cedar would be good),
wether the fence is single or double-sided, how much 'see-through'
there is, how tall the fence will be.

The representative who installed our fence suggested it match the
neighbour's cedar fence so our view matched. He also noted the
neighbour's fence wasn't quite built correctly: it is a double-sided
fence but the boards are spaced a bit too far apart so at an angle can
see through. Also noted the horizontal supports were put in wrong:
wide part is horizontal and should have been vertical.
